Affirmative Action Benefits Asian Americans

Prop 209: a Case Study

There is quantitative and qualitative data that proves affirmative action benefits Asian Americans in admissions. After Prop 209 banned affirmative action in public higher education in 1998, the rate of AAPI admissions decreased significantly for all UC campuses except UC Riverside, and diversity levels have never been the same since.

Our mission is to advocate for civil rights, provide legal services and education, and build coalitions to positively influence and impact Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders and to create a more equitable and harmonious society.
